The old Comet on Dumbarton Rd is definitely going to be student flats, as is the old BP opposite Firebird.

Not heard or seen anything about the old Car parts place on Yorkhill st, but Strathclyde Homes had a planning application in for a mini-tower block (for students) on the plot of wasteground nextdoor on Gilbert st. Don't know if that got approved as there had been objections from folks across the road on the grounds of privacy due to the planned height of the development.

Anything going in there would perhaps be similar to the rest of the residential buildings on the Haugh Rd - this appears to have been a factor driving the rather uninspiring design for the student halls which will replace the old timber depot at 107 Kelvinhaugh St, when they knock that down at the start of next year.
